Don’t believe the Democrats’ fake outrage over the new Jan. 6 footage
Christopher Tremoglie
It is crucial to understand one main principle over the newly released Jan. 6 footage aired on Tucker Carlson’s show this week: Democrats tried to deceive and mislead the public. This, and only this, is the most critical issue. And while many have been discussing the video of Jacob Chansley, known as the “QAnon shaman,” being calmly escorted by police through the Capitol, it was revealed that the Democrats hoodwinked the public on other important details.
Any Democratic “outrage” over the footage realistically stems from being exposed for their deception. They made false claims and edited videos to manipulate public opinion over the Capitol riot. The Jan. 6 committee wasn’t a fair hearing about what happened; it was a Soviet-style “show trial” in which the legislators already determined the guilt of the accused. The entire thing was a left-wing agenda-driven sham.
The people who broke into the Capitol and assaulted police officers deserved to be held accountable for their crimes. However, the Democrats wanted to go beyond that. Their real objective was to punish their political opponents severely and embellish their wrongdoings to shame them, sway public opinion, and justify the harsh punishment handed down to the guilty. Democrats didn’t care about justice; they merely wanted political revenge against those who resisted them. And they wanted to use them as examples to intimidate their political opponents.
Consider the Jan. 6 committee’s false accusation that Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) gave a tour to the so-called insurrectionists before the Jan. 6 riot. They used video of Loudermilk showing a group of people around the Capitol buildings to accuse him falsely of participating in a conspiracy. They didn’t have any evidence such a claim was valid, yet they proceeded anyway to sully his reputation. This is what is truly an outrage and indicative of the political terror that complements the Democratic thirst for power and revenge.
Next, consider the footage of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) running out of the Capitol during the Jan. 6 riot. The committee used this edited video to shame Hawley as a coward, fleeing a mob entering the Capitol that they claimed he incited. The entire hearing room was laughing at the manipulated footage. Yet, Carlson provided the whole video on his show. The full version revealed that scores of people were hurrying to evacuate the Capitol, not just Hawley. It also showed Hawley was among the last to leave.
Lie after lie after lie, that is what the Jan. 6 committee was about. Had Tucker Carlson not shown the new footage, the country would have been left to believe what the Democrats claimed. If not for Carlson, the country would never know essential details Democrats purposely omitted because they did not fit the narrative they wanted to create. It’s just the latest example in recent years of Democratic propaganda.
Tucker Carlson showed just how disgraceful the Democrats are. That, and only that, is why they want to discredit him. They only care about controlling the flow of information to the people and deceiving the public for political gain. They don’t care about the truth; they never did.
